Proxy is an EE2.0 Module used to substitue template tags with placeholder data, in order to more efficiently and effectively test your templates.
Before Proxy, I was creating a plethora of test entires to test various types of content that could be used in a Channel Field. The process of creating all these dummy entries was time consuming, confusing, and led to me not testing as rigarously as I should have been. Proxy was created to speed up the testing of templates, by allowing the developer to quicky swap in placeholder tag data when the template renders.
